Use as a library

This crate is also available as a library.

Add this to your Cargo.toml to use it as a library

[dependencies]
hf = { version = "0.3.6", default-features = false }

By default, the dependencies required to build the application are also built. If you disable the default feature, only the dependencies required to build the library will be built.

Example

use std::fs::File;

let temp_dir = tempfile::tempdir().unwrap();
let file_path = temp_dir.path().join("foo.txt");

File::create(&file_path).unwrap();
assert!(!hf::is_hidden(&file_path).unwrap());

hf::hide(&file_path).unwrap();
// Change the file name to start with `.`.
#[cfg(unix)]
let file_path = hf::unix::hidden_file_name(&file_path).unwrap();
assert!(hf::is_hidden(&file_path).unwrap());

hf::show(&file_path).unwrap();
// Change the file name to start with a character other than `.`.
#[cfg(unix)]
let file_path = hf::unix::normal_file_name(&file_path).unwrap();
assert!(!hf::is_hidden(file_path).unwrap());
